Actress Mindy Kaling hosted part of the third night of the Democratic National Convention, dropping jokes as she introduced the evening's speakers.
She recalled the time she cooked dosas with Vice President Kamala Harris and quipped about wanting to be appointed as ambassador to Italy.
In a widely shared clip online, she also shouted out her home state of Massachusetts.
"I love you Massachusetts! Everyone is always hating on us, but they just don't get it! Go Sox! Go Jayson Tatum! Ben Affleck, hang in there,” she said. "Dunkin Donuts is the best coffee in the world!"
Affleck's wife Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce Tuesday, the second end to their romance that spans decades. Photos of Affleck looking downtrodden frequently go viral.
